Phish Stats, Math Geek, Doctor Who fan. Occasionally embodies the joy of Phish. Le Minuteur était aussi un Aggie FREE THE CLIPBOARD!!! Warning: since 10/7 has been publicly questioning and exploring his Jewish identity. There will be processing!

I had never heard of One Night Only before today but I just watched the trailer (well tried to) and even if you ignore the stupid premise, it had the same problem as my When Harry Met Sally rewatch of a few months ago. I immediately disliked both the leads so I don't care if they get together.

And I just checked and 2.4% of the voters in my district voted for the guy who mainly talks about the “Jewish problem” only lefishly. I hope those 2400 people were just doing that as a random protest and/or none of them live in neighborhood.

One thing that's clicking is just how similar Dungeon Crawler Carl and Murderbot are at the 10,000 ft view: Crapsack universes with a lot of lore but largely filtered behind a point of view character who just doesn't give a shit about that bullshit.

Come on Vanity Fair, we're way past "No women go to Phish shows" and "Hyuk, they do dr00000000gs" article. Also, "Monday was dedicated to 1995, meaning every song the band played would be one it debuted or wrote that year. " DO SOME RESEARCH.

Looking up the candidates on my ballot (not like I’m not voting for Jayapal) and ‘that “people called me an ‘antisemite,’ whatever that is”’ is not making me want to research what the fifth republic party is supposed to be.

As a Jew, one thing I’ve learned is that I have to prioritize my asks of others. After the third or fourth one, people burn out and stop caring. Am I thrilled that SCI still get bookings? No. But that’s much lower than worrying about synagogue bombings.

I can get the argument that in order to have a league that is only open to a subset of the population, we need to have a good definition of who is eligible. However, I do not understand any definition of girls' sports in which someone with a birth certificate with an F on it would not qualify.

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

Happy 35th anniversary to Amy's Farm! While legendary "first fan" Amy Skelton owned the farm, I don't know if she lived there. It might feel risky to invite a thousand or so Phish fans to your house, but the early 90s was a reasonably safe scene. (1/8)
